1. [Jilin Province] Cruel Tortures Inside Siping Prison

Siping Prison is located in Shiling Town of Lishu County, Jilin Province. Right now, there are around 40 practitioners being detained in the prison. Here is a list of persecution cases.

Fu Hongwei (from Shulan County, being held in Division No. 12 ) refused to put on the prison uniform or plead guilty to any wrongdoings. Consequently, he was locked in a tiny cell. In protest of the persecution, Mr. Fu went on a hunger strike that lasted more than a month. A prison hospital staff member force-fed him.

Li Wenbo (from Meihekou County, being held in Division No. 12) witnessed the persecution of Fu Hongwei and decided to go on a hunger strike to protest against the persecution. For this, prison guards beat him with electric batons and also locked him in a tiny cell to torture him.

Jiang Quande (from Nong'an County, being held in Division No. 4) joined other practitioners of this division in celebrating Chinese New Year 2005. He was beaten by inmates and also locked in a tiny cell. (It was said that the inmates would not beat others if the prison guards did not order them to.)

Yang Zhanjiu (from Yushu County, being held in Division No. 5) was forced to write the "four statements" (similar to the "three statements) at the end of 2004 by prison guards who wanted a better record [of success in "transforming" practitioners] for the year. Mr. Yang refused to do the writing and was not allowed to sleep. Other inmates also beat him severely.

Each practitioner is accompanied by 4 inmates 24 hours a day in shifts. Practitioners are prevented from exchanging information among themselves and are not allowed to speak to regular inmates either. The regular inmates who monitor practitioners will receive reductions in their prison terms.
